24
00:01:10,720 --> 00:01:14,960
way, right?
>> 20 years ago, we wouldn't have said

25
00:01:13,520 --> 00:01:16,159
anything about that. We would have done
no way.

26
00:01:15,600 --> 00:01:19,680
» Yeah.
>> But things have changed a little.

27
00:01:18,159 --> 00:01:22,080
» Yeah. Yeah.
>> Okay.

28
00:01:20,799 --> 00:01:26,159
» You're more than welcome, sir. Thank
you.

29
00:01:23,360 --> 00:01:30,960
staff reports public works as
>> um I think you all know that they

30
00:01:27,759 --> 00:01:33,840
started on the train last week. Um right
now what they're doing is they've got

31
00:01:32,400 --> 00:01:40,159
one of they've got the caboose
completely enclosed and they started

32
00:01:36,079 --> 00:01:44,479
sand blasting today. Um their goal is to
get some more scaffolding up so they can

33
00:01:41,759 --> 00:01:48,479
get two cars under there. And then what
they're going to do is sand blast those

34
00:01:46,399 --> 00:01:53,200
and probably prime them and then maybe
scoot them out of there and move the

35
00:01:49,920 --> 00:01:57,119
other two under the scaffolding too. Um
they're they're waiting on the other

36
00:01:54,479 --> 00:02:00,560
scaffolding to come. Um last week uh
they taped the windows and stuff and and

37
00:01:59,200 --> 00:02:05,759
everything and got it ready to sand
blast. There were two guys here last

38
00:02:02,320 --> 00:02:09,520
week. A third person showed up today. Um
and they're going to work every day.

39
00:02:07,119 --> 00:02:13,520
It's not raining. So um I think they
worked Friday, Saturday, or Saturday,

40
00:02:11,520 --> 00:02:16,160
Sunday, and Monday this past weekend. So
>> Yep. I saw them here.

41
00:02:14,640 --> 00:02:21,040
» Yep. Yep. So they're going to work every
day they can. Um the street department's

42
00:02:18,640 --> 00:02:24,640
still finishing up uh some storm sewer
work. They add some cementing and

43
00:02:22,560 --> 00:02:29,680
concreting they did on Crescent Drive.
They got a few other uh storm sewers to

44
00:02:26,720 --> 00:02:34,080
do as well. They've got some parking
spots in they're going to finish up

45
00:02:30,959 --> 00:02:38,319
painting yet. Um and for instance out
here on North South Park Place and over

46
00:02:36,319 --> 00:02:41,599
by the theater they got that most of
that swept. Um I think they're going to

47
00:02:40,160 --> 00:02:46,800
finish that up tomorrow and then they'll
paint the stripes there and then they've

48
00:02:43,760 --> 00:02:50,400
got some seal coating left including um
half of the parking lot west of city

49
00:02:48,560 --> 00:02:53,120
hall here.
And once they get done with that, then

50
00:02:51,760 --> 00:02:58,000
they'll be done chip sealing for the
year.

51
00:02:54,640 --> 00:03:01,920
Uh sewer departments um getting ready.
We're going to have to haul some sludge

52
00:02:59,280 --> 00:03:07,519
out again. We do every fall. Um right
now they're at near capacity with the

53
00:03:04,000 --> 00:03:10,000
the sludge tank. And once and the crops
are starting to go out. A lot of people

54
00:03:08,720 --> 00:03:13,920
are chopping and stuff. So once the
crops are out, um they've got the the

55
00:03:12,400 --> 00:03:18,959
gentleman ready to start hauling that
out and um um get that emptied up.

56
00:03:17,200 --> 00:03:23,840
» Where does that all go? Uh we've got
farm fields around here. Uh we've got

57
00:03:20,959 --> 00:03:28,400
agreements with the farmers and and um
the map all has to go to the DNR and

58
00:03:26,080 --> 00:03:32,480
stuff. So it's not random or I mean it
just it it's it's got a schedule so to

59
00:03:31,360 --> 00:03:37,120
speak. So
>> nutrient management plan.

60
00:03:34,239 --> 00:03:40,879
» Yep. Yep. And then the last thing I'm
I'm not going to be at the next meeting.

61
00:03:38,720 --> 00:03:45,040
So um I'll be out of town and if
something pops up I'll be able to join

62
00:03:42,319 --> 00:03:46,400
by phone if necessary. So that's what I
have.

63
00:03:45,440 --> 00:03:50,280
» All right. Thanks Dave.
>> You're welcome. Police.

64
00:03:53,920 --> 00:04:01,280
» Howdy y'all. Good evening. I'm
Lieutenant Sanios Cresco Police

65
00:03:57,680 --> 00:04:07,760
Department. Um you got our um August
calls. Uh we had a few um kind of spikes

66
00:04:04,480 --> 00:04:15,120
in calls. Our animal calls. We had 22
for August. We had 17 civil calls. Uh

67
00:04:12,239 --> 00:04:22,479
medical calls we had 28. Information
miscellaneous calls up almost 50.

68
00:04:18,720 --> 00:04:31,199
Um here on traffic stops also we had uh
64 uh more uh to add on. We're at 627

69
00:04:26,639 --> 00:04:35,040
for the year for that. Um and yeah, some
calls kind of a busy month for August.

70
00:04:33,280 --> 00:04:40,880
So
um I spoke to officer Kitchen. Um he's

71
00:04:38,560 --> 00:04:45,199
doing great in the academy on week two.
seems to be enjoying it. Um I'm hoping

72
00:04:43,440 --> 00:04:49,520
he's representing us all good down there
and uh seems to be having a lot of fun

73
00:04:47,199 --> 00:04:58,320
down there and enjoying and learning a
lot. Um another thing that I also have

74
00:04:53,040 --> 00:05:03,759
is we got approved for our um GTSP
program, which is the Governor's Traffic

75
00:04:59,919 --> 00:05:12,240
Safety Bureau. this uh for goals for 27
is we got approved for $6,500 for uh

76
00:05:08,479 --> 00:05:17,680
approved hours for OWI enforcement and
6,500 in general enforcement.

77
00:05:15,039 --> 00:05:23,520
And then equipment we got approved for
4,800

78
00:05:19,520 --> 00:05:29,440
uh dollars for two new incar cameras uh
or excuse me, two incar radars and then

79
00:05:26,880 --> 00:05:36,800
two new PVTs.
So, the way the 6500 works is um those

80
00:05:33,199 --> 00:05:43,120
are based on hourly rates and we can get
up to $6,500 worth of extra wages. Um

81
00:05:40,800 --> 00:05:49,199
and how that works is we have to do that
strictly on our off time and not while

82
00:05:45,680 --> 00:05:54,880
we are actively on uh our normal shifts.
So, we have to come in during our off

83
00:05:51,520 --> 00:06:01,360
days or personal time to conduct these
um uh these different projects and

84
00:05:58,720 --> 00:06:06,160
whatnot. Uh I know Officer Rush right
now, he's the one that kind of

85
00:06:03,360 --> 00:06:13,600
kickstarted this back up for us again.
Um he's got a few um

86
00:06:10,080 --> 00:06:18,400
uh end of semester project for we're
going to try to enforce uh over near the

87
00:06:16,960 --> 00:06:23,039
school area where we're going to have
cell phones, speed, and seat belts is

88
00:06:20,400 --> 00:06:28,080
what we're going to enforce mostly. Um
and then for a few holiday events, we're

89
00:06:25,199 --> 00:06:33,919
going to try to do more of the OWI um
enforcement during those times.

90
00:06:31,520 --> 00:06:38,960
» Sounds good. Any questions about the
GTSB program? I can try to answer most

91
00:06:37,120 --> 00:06:41,600
of it and officer Rush is definitely a
little bit more knowledgeable about it.

92
00:06:40,240 --> 00:06:44,880
This is kind of what he's getting, you
know, giving me. So

93
00:06:43,120 --> 00:06:50,080
» GTSV stands for
>> the Governor's Traffic Safety Bureau

94
00:06:47,039 --> 00:06:54,240
Bureau. So
>> why do you think the number of calls is

95
00:06:52,080 --> 00:06:59,360
up so dramatically? Some of these are
pretty nice weather

96
00:06:56,960 --> 00:07:03,520
and a lot of time and the animal calls
is we're always going to have a lot of

97
00:07:01,440 --> 00:07:08,160
those. That could be anywhere from a
barking dog complaint to a dog running

98
00:07:05,840 --> 00:07:13,919
loose or in this case cat or some kind
of animal. Um that's the reason why it's

99
00:07:11,280 --> 00:07:17,759
all lumped up into that one. So anytime
a dog barks and we get called on it, we

100
00:07:16,000 --> 00:07:23,360
log that down.
>> Yeah. Even things like welfare checks

101
00:07:19,840 --> 00:07:27,199
went from 20 to 118. Civil calls went
from 17 to 117.

102
00:07:25,840 --> 00:07:29,680
» That's the year to dates.
>> Yeah. The second one is the year to

103
00:07:28,880 --> 00:07:31,520
date. Yeah.
>> I see.

104
00:07:30,319 --> 00:07:34,560
» Yeah. If we did that, we're definitely
going to need a few more out.

105
00:07:33,919 --> 00:07:38,720
» Wow.
>> Yeah. The the one thing that I'm glad

106
00:07:36,400 --> 00:07:43,599
some people were doing was a suspicious
activity. That was 19. Uh we definitely

107
00:07:41,360 --> 00:07:48,000
encourage um the public if you see
something, say some, call us. It's what

108
00:07:45,360 --> 00:07:52,800
we're here for. Um, we'd rather check in
and be nothing than not get called and

109
00:07:50,400 --> 00:07:57,520
something, you know, serious happens.
So, definitely encourage anybody to see

110
00:07:56,400 --> 00:08:01,120
something, say something, call
something, call us.

111
00:07:59,599 --> 00:08:04,160
» You've been getting many calls on sick
animals like that hairless fox that's

112
00:08:02,960 --> 00:08:07,360
running around on the north side of
town.

113
00:08:04,479 --> 00:08:10,560
» I have not seen that a long while. Um,
>> he's around, man.

114
00:08:08,800 --> 00:08:14,240
» Is he still around? I We haven't got any
calls on him and it's been

115
00:08:12,800 --> 00:08:16,879
» I think last year was probably the last
one I've got. Yeah. So,

116
00:08:15,440 --> 00:08:19,199
» no, he's up. He was We saw him
yesterday. Mike's voice.

117
00:08:17,919 --> 00:08:21,520
» Yeah, I've seen him several times. We
had him on camera one night where he was

118
00:08:20,800 --> 00:08:25,039
in the backyard.
>> Might has become the new city mascot for

119
00:08:23,280 --> 00:08:28,400
how right now.
>> There's been two of them in our house

120
00:08:26,560 --> 00:08:32,719
all since spring, but I haven't seen him
for about two weeks now.

121
00:08:29,360 --> 00:08:37,279
» I saw it. Uh yeah, pretty tough looking.
>> Yeah, it's I I heard it's uh definitely

122
00:08:35,200 --> 00:08:39,360
seen better days. So, but it sounds like
it might have been a female maybe had a

123
00:08:38,959 --> 00:08:41,440
litter.
>> They get the male.

124
00:08:40,959 --> 00:08:46,640
» Yeah.
>> Yeah. So there's nothing wrong with

125
00:08:44,320 --> 00:08:50,320
losing your hair either, but
>> nothing wrong with that at all,

126
00:08:47,920 --> 00:08:52,320
actually. So,
>> all right. Thanks, Lieutenant.

127
00:08:51,600 --> 00:08:57,120
» Thank you all. Thanks.
>> I will also add for him, um, on the

128
00:08:55,120 --> 00:09:00,959
claims list is two new vehicles. Well,
not new, new to us vehicles. They are

129
00:09:00,240 --> 00:09:07,040
» Ford,
>> two Ford Explorers. Yep. Um

130
00:09:04,480 --> 00:09:10,560
hopefully I don't know if you and Chief
got that figured out on

131
00:09:08,880 --> 00:09:13,600
» the payment, but hopefully hope
hopefully here by next week is kind of

132
00:09:12,160 --> 00:09:16,240
what the plan is, but
>> and they're going to deliver them for

133
00:09:15,600 --> 00:09:20,880
us.
>> Yeah, I didn't want to overstep on

134
00:09:18,480 --> 00:09:25,279
chief's toes on that. So I didn't bring
it up, but uh we also ordered new

135
00:09:23,120 --> 00:09:29,120
holsters for our fire our new firearms
and they should hopefully be here sooner

136
00:09:27,440 --> 00:09:36,800
than later, but they have to custom make
them to the firearm that we uh chose. So

137
00:09:33,600 --> 00:09:39,360
hopefully those come sooner than later.
>> Okay. Thank you.

138
00:09:38,320 --> 00:09:43,120
» Awesome. Thank y'all.
>> Thanks.

139
00:09:40,480 --> 00:09:46,399
» Administration. Um with the age related
project finishing up, I thought it might

140
00:09:44,560 --> 00:09:51,279
be a good idea council wants to take a
tour of the sewer plant. Um anybody

141
00:09:49,440 --> 00:09:55,440
available next Tuesday or Wednesday at
1:00?

» Do you guys want to check and get back

sealed bids for the sewer equipment are

145
00:10:04,880 --> 00:10:10,720
due at 2 p.m. on September 21st. We did
give the top three biders the option to

146
00:10:09,279 --> 00:10:15,440
increase their bid after they've been
opened. Um, the street department is

147
00:10:13,279 --> 00:10:19,600
going to put on one of an up one of the
upcoming auctions a bucket for their old

148
00:10:17,279 --> 00:10:23,839
skid loader and a mower for their old
tractor that we no longer need. CIP

149
00:10:22,480 --> 00:10:27,680
packets have been handed out to all
department heads. We've been busy

150
00:10:25,920 --> 00:10:31,680
working on the annual financial report
trying to get the new system to be able

151
00:10:29,920 --> 00:10:36,480
to kick out in the order that we need to
enter into the department of management

152
00:10:33,279 --> 00:10:40,720
website. They also changed their debt
portal that we'll have to use now. So,

153
00:10:38,320 --> 00:10:44,240
we'll have to use that. Busy updating
the EPA emergency readiness plan and I

154
00:10:42,880 --> 00:10:49,200
hope to have that on the next meeting as
well as the street finance report. And a

155
00:10:47,360 --> 00:10:54,800
week and a half ago, that front window
somehow broke. Um the estimate is about

156
00:10:52,000 --> 00:10:58,720
$1,400 to fix. Um they have ordered it.
They thought it'd be about two to three

157
00:10:56,000 --> 00:11:02,959
weeks. Fortunately, it was double paned
so we don't have to have any plywood or

158
00:11:00,399 --> 00:11:07,200
anything up. So,
okay, that's

159
00:11:04,320 --> 00:11:11,600
» any committee updates.
>> We had a economic development meeting

160
00:11:09,519 --> 00:11:15,760
three weeks ago. So, most everything
that was discussed there is old news.

161
00:11:13,920 --> 00:11:19,839
Um, one of the topics brought up at the
meeting was hospital. They picked up a

162
00:11:17,680 --> 00:11:25,839
midwife, I believe, that is currently in
place up there working and be a great

163
00:11:22,399 --> 00:11:31,680
addition to the hospital and other
county's losses are gain. So, but other

164
00:11:29,200 --> 00:11:35,200
than that, that's about it.
>> Okay. At this time, I'm going to

165
00:11:33,040 --> 00:11:39,640
recognize Lonnie Lahan for being with
the street department for eight years.

166
00:11:40,160 --> 00:11:45,920
And no one's in the audience. So I don't
think we have any comments from the

167
00:11:44,240 --> 00:11:51,200
audience.
So business number one, first reading of

168
00:11:48,399 --> 00:11:55,519
propo proposed ordinance number 536
pertaining to water rates. And so I

169
00:11:53,360 --> 00:12:00,240
added this one because um about a year
and a half ago, we changed the dates. So

170
00:11:58,000 --> 00:12:04,079
during business hours, it said 8 to 4
that they would turn and turn on and

171
00:12:02,240 --> 00:12:08,160
turn off the water. With now with the
union contract, it's 3:30. So this is

172
00:12:06,079 --> 00:12:11,839
updating the hours that are their normal
business hours. So that's the only thing

173
00:12:09,920 --> 00:12:13,680
I changed on it.
>> So do I need to read this?

174
00:12:13,200 --> 00:12:18,800
» Yes.
>> Okay. Ordinance number 536, an ordinance

214
00:14:30,240 --> 00:14:36,560
receiving certified and municipal clerk
cler certification. I put this back on.

215
00:14:34,959 --> 00:14:40,160
My certification did come through. So I
sent you guys each a copy of the letter.

216
00:14:38,399 --> 00:14:43,720
Um and that would have been backdated to
July 13th

217
00:14:49,920 --> 00:14:56,120
and earlier I did send out the
comparisons that I had previously given

218
00:14:52,880 --> 00:14:56,120
as well.

219
00:14:57,920 --> 00:15:05,279
Uh, make a motion.
>> Motion of what?

220
00:15:02,480 --> 00:15:12,920
The lines are blank. So, I would need a
dollar amount. And if you wanted to go

221
00:15:08,079 --> 00:15:12,920
with the date for something different,

222
00:15:13,040 --> 00:15:17,839
» we have that discussion when we have
full counsel with the mayor. Is that

223
00:15:16,959 --> 00:15:20,079
something that's got to be passed
tonight or

224
00:15:19,199 --> 00:15:27,920
» next meeting?
>> Pass it. Okay. Is that what everybody

225
00:15:22,320 --> 00:15:27,920
else wants to do? I think so. Okay.

226
00:15:28,240 --> 00:15:34,000
So we'll table number four until our
next meeting.

227
00:15:32,079 --> 00:15:37,440
Number five, discuss storm sewer on
Stock Avenue.

228
00:15:36,720 --> 00:15:45,000
Dave,
>> so excuse me.

229
00:15:42,000 --> 00:15:45,000
Um

230
00:15:46,399 --> 00:15:53,440
talked with um Lonnie a little bit more.
I talked with Lonnie a little bit more

231
00:15:51,519 --> 00:15:59,120
about this today and and Brett Meamer as
well. And um

232
00:15:57,040 --> 00:16:02,720
it is a little wet down on the far end
of

233
00:16:00,639 --> 00:16:06,480
stock
and

234
00:16:04,480 --> 00:16:10,720
you know it could be such a thing that
that maybe we should go all the way down

235
00:16:08,240 --> 00:16:15,440
that road with storm sewer if we if we
do something. I talked to Brent and this

236
00:16:13,680 --> 00:16:22,240
afternoon Brent memered and asked him if
he had considered that when he run the

237
00:16:18,800 --> 00:16:27,120
grade for this small section of the
whole street and he had not and he was

238
00:16:25,279 --> 00:16:30,079
going to see if he could find some guys
that could do it this afternoon and let

239
00:16:28,639 --> 00:16:36,399
me know. I haven't heard back from him
yet. Um

240
00:16:34,079 --> 00:16:43,360
the the other thing too is if we just
decide to do this small part of it, the

241
00:16:39,360 --> 00:16:48,320
250ome feet I think it is um it could be
such a thing that the street department

242
00:16:45,040 --> 00:16:53,759
would be able to do it as well. Um so
then we would would not have to hire

243
00:16:50,160 --> 00:16:58,320
mess to do it. I don't know. depends on
um

244
00:16:56,079 --> 00:17:03,120
I guess what we find out on the on the
grade and timing and stuff too. So

245
00:17:01,839 --> 00:17:05,839
» So you said right now it's currently
sits at 250 ft, right?

246
00:17:04,959 --> 00:17:08,240
» Is roughly.
>> Yep. Yep.

247
00:17:06,720 --> 00:17:12,400
» And if that's something that our guys
can do in a relatively

248
00:17:10,640 --> 00:17:16,559
short period of time,
>> you know, we don't get into uh I'm sure

249
00:17:14,959 --> 00:17:20,000
they're familiar with it, but if we get
into limestone and stuff, that'll be an

250
00:17:18,319 --> 00:17:22,480
issue. it
>> just soon have our guys do it and get it

251
00:17:21,760 --> 00:17:25,120
done.
>> Right.

252
00:17:23,120 --> 00:17:29,679
» But we wouldn't be doing any our guys
wouldn't be doing any of his work.

253
00:17:26,720 --> 00:17:32,240
» No. No.
>> Right.

254
00:17:30,480 --> 00:17:36,320
» Right. So if if there was a line there
today and and a homeowner or property

255
00:17:34,080 --> 00:17:40,160
owner I should say wanted to tie into
it, it would be their expense whether

256
00:17:37,919 --> 00:17:43,919
it's water line, sewer line or storm
sewer to get it from their property to

257
00:17:42,559 --> 00:17:46,720
the main.
>> So they'd have to run it

258
00:17:45,440 --> 00:17:50,080
» they would have to run under the street.
Yep. Yep. and fix the street for

259
00:17:48,640 --> 00:17:54,720
instance, things like that, too. And
that's a chip sealed street, so they

260
00:17:51,840 --> 00:17:58,320
would fill it back in with asphalt. But,
um, yeah. Yeah.

261
00:17:56,640 --> 00:18:02,000
» And we'd probably put a couple inlets in
on that north side, too, somewhere or at

262
00:18:00,480 --> 00:18:05,120
least one, I would think.
>> Correct. Yep. Yeah.

263
00:18:03,039 --> 00:18:08,000
» Wouldn't that be a T or something?
>> Well, I mean, just surface water to get

264
00:18:07,520 --> 00:18:11,200
down.
>> Yeah. Yep. And there's not much surface

265
00:18:09,440 --> 00:18:14,400
water on that side of the road
>> cuz it's up.

266
00:18:12,000 --> 00:18:17,679
» Um, it's it Yeah. I mean, it goes it
goes downstream. So,

267
00:18:16,880 --> 00:18:20,400
um,
>> if we did it all the way down, how many

268
00:18:19,280 --> 00:18:24,919
feet is that?
>> Oh, I looked at that today. Um,

269
00:18:25,039 --> 00:18:28,039
500ish.

270
00:18:28,720 --> 00:18:37,440
» Yeah, at least twice as um I think it's
more than that. I'd have to look again.

271
00:18:33,919 --> 00:18:40,240
We looked at it today. Um,
you know, there's no curb and gutter in

272
00:18:38,799 --> 00:18:45,120
that street, so that doesn't help any of
the drainage. It doesn't direct the

273
00:18:41,840 --> 00:18:48,559
water anywhere. And um we have a lot of
streets like that. So

274
00:18:48,160 --> 00:18:52,400
um
>> why don't we get that narrowed down, get

275
00:18:50,080 --> 00:18:56,480
some get some solid information,
>> and let's put this thing to bed.

276
00:18:54,080 --> 00:18:59,360
» Okay.
>> Do you think you can have that

277
00:18:57,679 --> 00:19:03,200
information for us by our next meeting?
>> I would assume so. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I

278
00:19:01,280 --> 00:19:06,799
mean, I guess it is a short two weeks
now, but this is like the third Monday

279
00:19:05,360 --> 00:19:09,360
this week, it seems like. But
>> you won't be here in two weeks.

280
00:19:07,919 --> 00:19:12,720
» I won't be here in two weeks. If it's
such a thing, I might be able to call in

281
00:19:11,200 --> 00:19:15,760
if we know what's going on.
>> As long as we got the information, the

282
00:19:14,240 --> 00:19:17,600
costing the footage.
>> Yeah.

283
00:19:16,960 --> 00:19:20,480
» Yeah.
>> Okay.

284
00:19:18,400 --> 00:19:23,919
» So, there's enough depth on the pipe
that now we could do the whole 500.

285
00:19:22,720 --> 00:19:25,280
» We don't know that yet. That's what we
got to figure out.

286
00:19:24,559 --> 00:19:28,559
» Okay.
>> Yeah.

287
00:19:26,240 --> 00:19:33,760
» But the if we're doing some of that
work, that takes off of, you know, what

288
00:19:31,919 --> 00:19:36,400
Meert's bid was that they would be
doing, we would be doing

289
00:19:34,960 --> 00:19:40,000
» potentially. I mean, the pipe and stuff
would all be there

290
00:19:38,000 --> 00:19:42,799
» and and any drains and stuff, but
>> yeah, I don't see it on these bids that

291
00:19:41,360 --> 00:19:48,559
the the feet are what you were talking
about.

292
00:19:43,280 --> 00:19:53,440
» Well, on on the correct bid shows 260 ft
of 12-in dual wall pipe.

293
00:19:51,679 --> 00:19:56,880
So, that's that's basically how much it
would be, 260 ft.

294
00:19:55,280 --> 00:19:59,840
» Next page
>> on this one. Yeah.

295
00:19:58,559 --> 00:20:03,760
» So,
>> and even done that 260 foot this year

296
00:20:02,160 --> 00:20:06,400
and we decided in a few years to go
farther. Mhm.

297
00:20:04,480 --> 00:20:09,440
» I mean, we got the ground work laid.
>> Y just dig in and

298
00:20:08,000 --> 00:20:11,360
» Yeah. Yeah. We wouldn't necessarily have
to do it all at once, don't we?

299
00:20:10,720 --> 00:20:16,720
» Yeah.
>> So,

300
00:20:13,679 --> 00:20:20,720
» if we eventually pave that street, the
drains on the other side of the street

301
00:20:18,400 --> 00:20:22,960
on the south side would go under the
street and hook in the pipe on the other

302
00:20:22,480 --> 00:20:27,280
side.
>> Yep. Yep.

303
00:20:25,039 --> 00:20:31,120
» Yep. And and yeah, curb and gutter and
whatever. And yeah, like I said, we have

304
00:20:29,919 --> 00:20:34,240
a lot of streets without curb and
gutter. So,

305
00:20:32,320 --> 00:20:38,400
» so we right now basically we're going to
do is get the cost for

306
00:20:35,440 --> 00:20:41,440
» we Yeah, we can do that. Yeah. Yeah.
>> And we'll discuss at our next meeting.

307
00:20:40,480 --> 00:20:43,760
» Yeah. Okay.
>> Thanks, Dave.

308
00:20:42,080 --> 00:20:47,840
» You're welcome.
>> Okay. Number six, discuss cameras for

309
00:20:45,760 --> 00:20:53,919
city hall and possible motion to install
cameras. Um over the last couple months,

310
00:20:50,400 --> 00:20:58,080
we've had a couple issues with um feisty
customers, I guess you could say. And I

311
00:20:55,280 --> 00:21:01,679
know with the police being here, um, we
just thought maybe it's time for us to

312
00:20:59,280 --> 00:21:07,280
get cameras. We're the last building to
have them here at city hall. So, we did

313
00:21:03,520 --> 00:21:13,039
get two quotes. Um, Bob's came in at
3953.

314
00:21:08,960 --> 00:21:17,919
Um, it'd be $600 more to add 60 days
worth of storage versus 30. And then,

315
00:21:16,320 --> 00:21:22,480
um, we also got one from Drifless
Security. Um, theirs is a little bit

316
00:21:20,559 --> 00:21:27,200
more higher technology and that's
$9,400. um that also has a kill switch.

317
00:21:25,360 --> 00:21:30,960
So if you're doing um a close session,
you can turn off the cameras. The other

318
00:21:29,360 --> 00:21:35,840
one does not, but the only people who
have access to the camera system would

319
00:21:32,799 --> 00:21:39,360
be me and Tim. Um so
>> who is Drifless Security? They don't

320
00:21:37,679 --> 00:21:44,320
even put their address or anything.
>> They're out of Decor. They've done quite

321
00:21:40,720 --> 00:21:48,559
a bit of work over at the um theater.
>> Seems strange to send a bid in

322
00:21:46,799 --> 00:21:52,760
» and they don't have their address or
anything. looking through that.

323
00:21:52,799 --> 00:21:57,600
» Well, I mean, we definitely we
definitely need to to move along them

324
00:21:56,960 --> 00:22:00,720
lines,
>> right?

325
00:21:58,000 --> 00:22:04,320
» I mean, it's it's crazy that this the
only public area in town that

326
00:22:03,280 --> 00:22:08,799
» don't have cameras.
>> The police do have a couple downstairs

327
00:22:06,240 --> 00:22:12,159
and there is one at the entryway. This
would put one I believe it's at the

328
00:22:10,640 --> 00:22:15,840
front of the building. So, it catch
basically the whole street and possibly

329
00:22:14,000 --> 00:22:18,559
the side street. There'd be one at the
back that would catch the whole back and

330
00:22:17,120 --> 00:22:21,440
the back corners and everything. And
then there'd be at least one or two at

331
00:22:20,000 --> 00:22:23,919
city inside city hall.
>> But we're going to catch this counter

332
00:22:22,880 --> 00:22:27,280
area.
>> Yep. There'll be one at the counter

333
00:22:25,120 --> 00:22:30,880
area. Yep. And they will all have sound
as well. So if there's any yelling,

334
00:22:29,600 --> 00:22:33,600
screaming, it would all be caught on
camera.

335
00:22:31,520 --> 00:22:39,360
» Sound activated or just all the time on
>> I believe it's all the time. And Tim did

336
00:22:36,320 --> 00:22:44,799
review the um proposals and he was fine
with the one from Bob's Electric. Well,

337
00:22:42,000 --> 00:22:48,960
I'll make that proposal that to go
forward with the the one from Bob's.

338
00:22:48,000 --> 00:22:52,080
Let's get it done.
>> I'll second that.

339
00:22:50,880 --> 00:22:53,360
» Roll call.
>> Bassan,

340
00:22:52,960 --> 00:22:54,320
» yes.
>> Carmen,

341
00:22:53,840 --> 00:22:55,120
» yes.
>> Greener,

342
00:22:54,720 --> 00:22:55,919
» yes.
>> Wolf,

343
00:22:55,600 --> 00:22:57,840
» yes.
>> McConnell,

344
00:22:56,559 --> 00:23:01,039
» yes.
>> Okay. Number seven, discuss mileage logs

345
00:23:00,000 --> 00:23:05,520
for city vehicles.
>> Um, when our auditor was here, she did

346
00:23:03,360 --> 00:23:10,320
recommend that we start having mileage
logs on every vehicle that uses our gas

347
00:23:07,919 --> 00:23:12,559
cards. Um, currently the only one is
actually Dave's.

348
00:23:12,000 --> 00:23:16,240
» Um,
>> so this is a deficiency from the audit.

349
00:23:14,799 --> 00:23:19,120
» It's a recommendation that she
recommended. She's not writing us up for

350
00:23:17,840 --> 00:23:23,840
anything or anything. She's just
recommending that it's something that we

351
00:23:20,960 --> 00:23:27,600
look into and possibly implement.
>> So describe the content that they're

352
00:23:26,159 --> 00:23:30,960
looking for in these logs. They just
daily mileage.

353
00:23:28,960 --> 00:23:34,559
» You would every time you fill up. So
when Dave fills up, he writes down the

354
00:23:32,880 --> 00:23:39,280
date, the mileage on the vehicle, and
how many gallons. turn it in monthly and

355
00:23:36,799 --> 00:23:42,640
» Wendy. Yeah. The book in in my pickup
started in 1993.

356
00:23:41,200 --> 00:23:45,760
» Yeah.
>> Nothing wild.

357
00:23:44,400 --> 00:23:50,000
» So it'll be there for another hundred
years. But

358
00:23:46,480 --> 00:23:53,360
» and this is every motorized city vehicle
>> that would have a gas card. Yep.

359
00:23:52,799 --> 00:23:57,440
» So like a
>> So all your dump trucks, uh, ATVs, the

360
00:23:56,720 --> 00:24:00,720
tractors.
>> Yep.

361
00:23:58,400 --> 00:24:03,760
» Probably not the tractors, the that
equipment. I wouldn't think would

362
00:24:02,240 --> 00:24:08,640
» they all I believe they all have their
own specific gas cart.

363
00:24:06,400 --> 00:24:11,360
» So I think on those is ours
>> probably ours on a tractor for instance

364
00:24:10,960 --> 00:24:14,240
but
>> Mhm.

365
00:24:12,320 --> 00:24:17,279
» it's just their recommendation. Um
nobody's done anything. There hasn't

366
00:24:15,760 --> 00:24:21,120
ever been any question on it. It's just
something that she's recommending that

367
00:24:18,640 --> 00:24:25,600
we look into and possibly implement.
Well, I mean, I want us to go ahead, but

368
00:24:23,440 --> 00:24:28,400
let's make sure that we do a learning
process for everybody because all of a

369
00:24:26,960 --> 00:24:30,640
sudden, you know, you do something
different. Everybody thinks that we're

370
00:24:30,000 --> 00:24:33,840
tracking them,
>> right?

371
00:24:31,360 --> 00:24:36,480
» So, I mean, we got to do a, you know,
>> all the same books and all the same

372
00:24:35,520 --> 00:24:37,919
whatever.
>> Some training,

373
00:24:37,279 --> 00:24:41,039
» right?
>> You know, passing information on this

374
00:24:39,760 --> 00:24:43,440
part of the audit.
>> Yeah.

375
00:24:41,600 --> 00:24:47,360
» And all our diesel fueling stuff is
purchased through Quickstar, I believe.

376
00:24:45,520 --> 00:24:50,960
We don't tank anything here, do we?
>> The exception is if somebody is out of

377
00:24:48,880 --> 00:24:55,120
town at a training. Um, they might fill
up down in De Moines or whatnot

378
00:24:52,640 --> 00:24:57,520
depending on where their gas tank's at.
>> But there's a book in the car though,

379
00:24:56,799 --> 00:25:01,279
right?
>> In his vehicle, yes. But like if he's

380
00:24:59,600 --> 00:25:05,039
filling up down in De Moines for
training, there's not one in theirs.

381
00:25:03,600 --> 00:25:08,480
» Okay.
>> Does Quickar have an option to put in

382
00:25:07,360 --> 00:25:10,559
your odometer reading?
>> They do not. We did check on it.

383
00:25:10,159 --> 00:25:14,080
» Okay.
>> They they they do.

384
00:25:12,559 --> 00:25:19,919
» They told us they did not.
>> Well, I've used a Quickstar card with

385
00:25:16,080 --> 00:25:23,840
the a mileage thing. Enter your mileage.
So,

386
00:25:21,200 --> 00:25:26,720
» it might be required of your card maybe
or something, right?

387
00:25:24,799 --> 00:25:29,520
» Well, it was it was on a it was on a
company card. So,

388
00:25:27,679 --> 00:25:33,600
» I know like the fleet a lot of the fleet
cards do it, but ours are specifically

389
00:25:31,440 --> 00:25:38,000
QuickStar issued and they don't have
that option for their specific card.

390
00:25:36,480 --> 00:25:39,919
» Do they work at anywhere other than
Quickstar?

391
00:25:38,640 --> 00:25:43,679
» They only work at Quickstar.
>> Okay.

392
00:25:41,440 --> 00:25:45,120
» So,
>> why?

393
00:25:44,320 --> 00:25:48,400
» So, yeah.
>> Yeah. Let's proceed, but let's make sure

394
00:25:46,960 --> 00:25:50,640
we're training. Yeah, we do go about it
right and everybody's

395
00:25:50,159 --> 00:25:53,360
» okay
>> understands it.

396
00:25:51,760 --> 00:25:58,159
» Well, it sounds like it's pretty basic.
It's just the date on

397
00:25:55,760 --> 00:26:01,039
» date, mileage, gallon or date, mileage,
gallons, and initials,

398
00:25:59,600 --> 00:26:04,960
» right? And it might not be something
that we check every single month, but

399
00:26:02,640 --> 00:26:09,279
just maybe R Wendy maybe picks five of
them on random each month to just do a

400
00:26:07,600 --> 00:26:14,080
quick spot check.
>> And that'll satisfy the audit.

401
00:26:10,960 --> 00:26:17,919
» Mhm. Is it possible to do like a Google
Docs or a form or some of that effect?

402
00:26:17,360 --> 00:26:20,960
» Possibly.
>> I know all of ours have computers in our

403
00:26:19,760 --> 00:26:23,679
cars and
>> Okay.

404
00:26:21,360 --> 00:26:26,960
» Just be easy to kind of be instantaneous
and you'd have everything right then and

405
00:26:25,200 --> 00:26:31,279
there. Is that a possibility?
>> Should be. Yeah.

406
00:26:28,320 --> 00:26:34,400
» Just kind of thinking out loud, I guess.
>> Yeah. I mean, we're definitely open to

407
00:26:32,640 --> 00:26:37,360
whatever works best for everybody. I
mean, we don't want to make it, you

408
00:26:35,440 --> 00:26:41,279
know, too cumbersome or what We get a
any kind of a government discount or

409
00:26:40,000 --> 00:26:44,080
corporate discount, anything through
Quickstar, we just pay pump price.

410
00:26:42,960 --> 00:26:45,120
» Yep. They give us a discount.
>> They do.

411
00:26:44,559 --> 00:26:48,880
» Yep.
>> So, I mean, and this is a topic for

412
00:26:47,200 --> 00:26:53,840
another discussion, but is it worth it
to put in for number two for the graders

413
00:26:52,080 --> 00:26:58,960
and and tractors and stuff to have a
tank rather than

414
00:26:56,159 --> 00:27:02,720
is there enough cost difference in that?
>> I don't

415
00:27:00,400 --> 00:27:04,960
» that I don't
>> maybe down the road. It's something we

416
00:27:04,000 --> 00:27:08,159
should take a look at, but
>> Right.

417
00:27:06,159 --> 00:27:10,559
So, you need a motion on this.
>> He already did a motion.

418
00:27:09,120 --> 00:27:12,240
» I'll second it.
>> Roll call. McConnell?

419
00:27:11,919 --> 00:27:13,279
» Yes.
>> Bassan?

420
00:27:12,960 --> 00:27:14,159
» Yes.
>> Carmen?

421
00:27:13,840 --> 00:27:14,960
» Yes.
>> Greener?

422
00:27:14,640 --> 00:27:16,720
» Yes.
>> Wolf?

423
00:27:15,520 --> 00:27:20,320
» Yes.
>> Okay. If there isn't anything else, I'll

424
00:27:19,039 --> 00:27:22,159
take a motion to adjurnn.
>> So, moved.

425
00:27:21,120 --> 00:27:24,000
» Second.
>> Roll call. Greener,

426
00:27:23,520 --> 00:27:25,039
» yes.
>> McConnell,

427
00:27:24,640 --> 00:27:25,919
» yes.
>> Wolf,

428
00:27:25,520 --> 00:27:27,520
» yes.
>> Carmen,

429
00:27:26,400 --> 00:27:31,320
» yes.
>> Yes.

430
00:27:28,000 --> 00:27:31,320
» Meeting adjourned.
